8 Ways a Caregiver can Maintain A Healthy Level Of Insanity

8 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity as a CAREGIVER

1. When you’re out to eat and the server asks what you’d like to drink, say, “Diet water, please.” (Look as natural as anyone would while ordering a diet soda.)
2. In the memo section of your checks, write, “for marijuana.”
3. (If you can) Skip down the street. Don’t walk. See who looks at you.
4. Make vanilla pudding. Put in a mayonnaise jar. Sit in a public area with heavy foot traffic and eat with gusto.
5. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, “I Won! I Won!”
6. When it’s time to leave the zoo, run toward the parking lot screaming, “Run for your lives! They’re loose!”
7. Sing along at the opera.
   Uh ohhh! I already sing along during the NY Metropolitan Opera’s Live HD feeds. I conduct the music, too. I’m not the only one!  😮
8.  Sit in a parked car wearing sunglasses and point a hair dryer at passing cars. Watch them slow down!
